Introduced: September 1968
Description
H01F covers the design, manufacture, and materials of passive electromagnetic devices including permanent magnets, electromagnets, inductors, and transformers. This subclass addresses magnetic core materials, winding configurations, shielding techniques, and the selection of materials based on their magnetic properties such as permeability and saturation characteristics. Applications span power distribution, signal processing, energy storage, and electromagnetic conversion across industrial and consumer electronics.
